Situated on 2+ acres of high and dry land along ski-sized Half Moon Lake, this Antebellum-inspired residence captures breathtaking water views and estate-style living at its finest. The main residence features 4,070 square feet of living space with elegant details throughout, including rich parquet flooring, extensive crown molding, and spacious living areas designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The first-floor primary suite offers a private retreat with dual walk-in closets, private lanai access, and peaceful lake views. The kitchen provides abundant storage and workspace with a large walk-in pantry, while an adjoining workshop area offers added flexibility for hobbies or projects. Designed for entertaining, the home features formal living and dining rooms, a bonus room, and powder bath. Upstairs are three generously sized guest bedrooms, including one with a Jack-and-Jill bath and another with an ensuite bath. A full-length second-floor balcony overlooks the grounds and sparkling waters of Half Moon Lake. Car collectors, hobbyists, and multi-generational buyers will appreciate the detached 6+ bay garage complex featuring workshop space and extensive storage. Above the garage sits a spacious 1,241 sq. ft. guest residence with 2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, ideal for extended family, guests, home office space, caretaker quarters, or potential income opportunities. Important property updates include the home having been substantially rebuilt in 1986, with only the original slab and one wall remaining from the initial structure. Recent improvements include new roofs on both the main residence and garage within the past year, as well as updated electrical service completed in recent years. Offering over 4,000 square feet in the main residence, more than 4,100 square feet of garage/workshop space, and a separate guest residence, this gated estate provides exceptional flexibility, privacy, and convenient access to the Veterans Expressway.
